Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Scheming Against Each Other
After sending the message to Li Tian, Lin Yun felt that Patriarch He’s presence here was unlikely to be a coincidence. However, since there was no longer any need to stay, Lin Yun prepared to leave.Just as Lin Yun was about to turn, the He Family’s old steward saw him and whispered a few words into Patriarch He’s ear. Patriarch He then looked up and also saw Lin Yun standing at the door.
Hurrying to his feet, Patriarch He came before Lin Yun and said respectfully, "Young Master Lin, what are you doing here?"
He had planned to leave, but now that Patriarch He had spotted him, Lin Yun was curious—especially about this Miss Xiaoqing, and why Patriarch He was here.
With a slight smile, Lin Yun looked at Patriarch He and chuckled. "Heh, I didn’t expect to run into you here, Patriarch He."
Lin Yun’s smile was roguish. Patriarch He gave a dry laugh and explained, "Young Master Lin, I’ve always enjoyed coming here to listen to Miss Xiaoqing’s music. Since you’re here today, why don’t we listen to a song together?"
At his words, Lin Yun glanced at Xiaoqing, who was behind a gauze curtain. Although the screen obscured her, Lin Yun could still tell that this Xiaoqing was indeed very beautiful.
"Alright. In that case, I’ll have to impose." Lin Yun laughed heartily and strode into the room.
As Lin Yun entered the private room, Patriarch He ordered the door to be closed. Now that Lin Yun was here, the environment naturally couldn’t be too noisy.
Miss Xiaoqing’s zither music had only recently become famous in Wind City; she herself had also appeared out of nowhere in the last little while.
Not long ago, the He Family’s old steward had told Patriarch He that Chunfeng Tower had a new Zither Master whose music was like the sound of heaven.
Out of curiosity, Patriarch He had come to Chunfeng Tower. As the patriarch of Wind City’s second-greatest family, he certainly had the means to hear Xiaoqing play a song.
It had to be said, ever since hearing Xiaoqing’s music for the first time, Patriarch He had truly fallen in love with her songs. He came to listen to a few pieces almost every few days.
The reason Patriarch He was here today, however, was because his old steward had told him that Miss Xiaoqing had composed a new piece. Upon hearing this, the idle patriarch couldn’t resist and had rushed over.
Lin Yun, unaware of all this, entered the room and naturally took the seat of honor. He Yuntian sat in the subordinate seat next to him and respectfully poured him a cup of fine wine.
